Abstract

Eine Vorrichtung dient zur Aufbereitung eines Kraftstoff-Kühlmittel-Gemisches in einem Brennstoffzellensystem. Bei dem Brennstoffzellensystem handelt es sich dabei insbesondere um ein Direkt-Methanol-Brennstoffzellensystem. Das Kraftstoff-Kühlmittel-Gemisch zirkuliert in einem Kreislaufsystem (5), welches eine Gemischfördereinrichtung (7), einen Anodenraum (2) einer Brennstoffzelle (1) und einen Ionentauscher (11) aufweist. Weiterhin wird Kraftstoff über eine Leitung aus einem Tank (21) in das Kreislaufsystem geführt. In dieser Leitung ist ein Anionen- und Kationentauscher (23) angeordnet. Zusätzlich ist im Kreislaufsystem noch ein Kationentauscher (11) angeordnet.

A device serves for the preparation of a fuel-coolant mixture in a fuel cell system. The fuel cell system is in particular a direct methanol fuel cell system. The fuel-coolant mixture circulates in a circulation system (5) which has a mixture delivery device (7), an anode compartment (2) of a fuel cell (1) and an ion exchanger (11). Furthermore, fuel is fed via a line from a tank (21) in the circulatory system. In this line, an anion and cation exchanger (23) is arranged. In addition, a cation exchanger (11) is arranged in the circulatory system.
